MELVIN POTTER, BETTER KNOWN AS THE GLADIATOR!

It's time for the new faces to make a stand.
''Matthew Feldman: Not the most famous villain in the Mainstream Continuity (Earth-616), but one of the toughest. You'd know him if you're a Daredevil fan. Appearing in 36 issues of doing wrong, this villain is about to get the 'Unstoppable' reserve! Be sure to check out The Unstoppable Spider-man 2 issue #8 for his first appearance. This is the biggest start to a huge fight since the Red Skull. Even bigger. So get ready, because the Gladiator is coming and is staying for a long time!''

He's here! First appearance:
The Unstoppable Spider-man 2 issue #8 saw the first glimpse of the Gladiator...

''As Spider-man was swinging over the Berlin night, his spider-senses were suddenly blasted on and this startled the spider. Spider-man turned his head, and saw a figure of a man in the shadows. The man spoke: "Not yet." and then vanished in the darkness.''

GLADIATOR MAKES FIRST FULL APPEARANCE:Survial.jpg
''The second-to-last page of The Unstoppable Spider-man 2 #10, final panel, showed the back of Gladiator's head. Right next to that was the last page; finally a full Gladiator image! As Gladiator watched the entire fight, he ends with saying: "You have earned... A warrior's death!" which was originally said by Gladiator (Earth-616) in Daredevil Volume 1 #166.''

BEHOLD:

GLADIATOR MAKES A STAND!:
The Unstoppable Spider-man 2 #12 revealed Gladiator's plans (sort of): In order to bring 'peace' to the world, Gladiator must kill Spider-man!!
